Blueberry Date Smoothie with Coconut Milk
Creamy and sweet, with caramel notes from the dates, juicy blueberries and a soft coconut finish.
Dates are among the sweetest fruits there are, and in a smoothie they replace sugar or syrup completely. They also bring fibre and a slight caramel flavour that pairs well with coconut. Blueberries add colour and a gentle acidity, and banana adds body. Canned coconut milk is rich, which is why it is mixed here with regular milk. The result is a smooth, dessert like glass that works as a filling breakfast or a sweet snack without refined sugar.
No, the dates and banana provide plenty of sweetness.
Yes, they make the smoothie colder and thicker.
Not as written, because it contains cow's milk; a plant drink makes it vegan.
